xl chromes on my breedlove acoustic

I've a problem getting the
bottom e string to sit correctly in the slot.Can I remove the binding at the eye or will this make the string unwind itself?
I don't really want to drill anything either!
So is it possible ?
Cheers!

Ah thanks I really should use the the correct terminology,
So yes,the silk is it!
I will try to remove some of this silk,so thanks for your advice.as long as I don't damage the string by doing this,then I might just get away with it!
Thanks slapinfunk,ill let you know how it goes
And look at some articles in 'luthiers corner'

Not sure if you have attempted already but just score the silk with a razor blade and start unwrapping.

Some say Burn it off, but I do not suggest that at all. Safest thing to do is unwrap the silk. It may take a while, but once you put these strings on your bass you aren't going to have to change them for a while...

I really like Chromes on the Breedlove. You can cut the silks off the E string with a razor as SLaPiNFuNK says. I had to take ALL of the silk off on the ball end of the string and some off the tuning end too just to get it through the hole. It will fit (barely) and is 100% worth the effort.
